A stunning afternoon in Seattle. 60 degrees and sunshine couldn't keep me indoors over the lunch hour. I was going to run this morning but it was 30 degrees and with a sore and tight shin, I didn't want to press my luck.

So ran 12 miles along the East Lake Samammish Trail this afternoon. It's a gravel trail which my coach suggested to put a slightly lighter load on my leg to help my shin recover quicker.He also had me do extra stretched along the way. It is still tender but it feels a lot better. I was going to double tonight but I think I'll be satisfied with my 12 for the day and double again on Thursday and maybe Friday.

Do you know any of the Bean Family up that way... Doug, Trevor, Chris, Steve?? Good friends of mine, they live in the Sammamish area! also have a cousin who is the Principal of a local Middle School there, Justin Blasko!

Strong Running, sounds like some great weather for the SEattle area!

I don't know any Beans. Sorry. Blasko doesn't ring a bell other. Issaquah and Samammish are in different school districts than where I am.
